Explanation:
- First, there is the variation of gravity with latitude that you alluded to: you weigh about 0.5% more at the poles than on the equator. ... Second, gravity does indeed change with altitude. The gravitational force above the Earth's surface is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth.

Answer:
Explanation:
as altitude increases acceleration due to gravity decreases
g' = g [ 1 - 2h/R ]
where g' - new acceleration due to gravity
h - height of altitude
R - radius of the earth
